Apes have been through a lot these last few months. There is no end to hedge fuckery.
Below is a list of notable times they tried to FUD Apes out of their positions.
When it comes time to hold past 1K, 10K, 100K, 1M.
Remember this list.
Feel free to post additional examples and I will update.Cointelpro Techniques for Dilution, Misdirection, and Control of an Internet Forum

Fake Stock Pumps:
Melvin Capital
- January: Closes out of short position
- February: Posts return of more than 20%
- March: Loses 7%
- April: Extends Q1 Losses to 49%
- This could actually be MSM FUD for a fake squeeze
- Melvin Portfolio DD – Including this here because there is some good data behind their losses.
- Edit: We’re seeing a lot of narratives around a fake squeeze due to the Melvin postings and a lot of warnings about the fake squeeze being FUD. Fake squeeze or not, $1K is nothing and the strategy remains the same. Hold.
- MarketWatch shifting blame to Apes
- This could actually be MSM FUD for a fake squeeze
I****nvestor’s Business Daily
April 16th Hype – We know better by now than to pin our hopes on specific dates. A large portion of the FUD on this list was spread around target dates (Earnings, and March 19th for example)
4/12
Gamestop falls toward 6th straight decline
ACM Analyst – Gamestop will fade as digital downloads take over. New price target: $10
3 Robinhood Stocks with Most Projected Downside – Go ahead and guess
4/13
Organized protests? – As always, be wary of anyone trying to organize us as a group. We just like the stock.
4/14
We are not terrorists, we do not make threats – New FUDers are trying to organize Apes and push violent narratives. Report anyone that does this.
YouTube Live Streamers – Great writeup here. Take each streamer with a grain of salt.
4/15
We’re creating our own FUD – Stay sharp, and don’t get sloppy! Stick to real DD grounded in solid data!
Award Comments as Intimidation
4/16
4/19
Shills saying DFV and Cohen are communicating
4/20
The sub is a bit chaotic. Shill are out in full force. You know their tactics. You know the DD. If you need to, step away and come back.
New floor is… $5K? – Think about this. If $5k is the floor they want you to sell at, how high is the real floor?
4/21
Motley Fool no longer wants you to forget Gamestop
4/25
4/30
Trying to organize Apes behind hashtagsMay
5/3
Switch brokerages to… Robinhood?!
5/10
Mayo? – Refer back to the Cointelpro forum sliding techniques. Shills are adapting the situation just as we are. Whatever starts to gain traction, it appears the shills ride the wave and add as much as they can to it in order to drown out the useful info.
Stay alert. We are not done yet.
5/15
5/17
Not sure what to make of this, but the whole thing stinks.
5/19-20
Melvin Closed out of short positions… again
5/23
Influx of XXXX holder posts – Careful of anything that attempts to divide apes. The top comment is a good breakdown of how FUD is being adapted.
I almost forgot the most important FUD: The EARLY SELL
- Another example
- Selling on dips to protect gains – $120 is a discount
As we get closer to the MOASS, they will try DESPERATELY to hype a low price point like $1,000 to scare you into paper handing.
Known FUDers
Post any others and I’ll update
- Market Watch
- Curtis Nagle – GME Price point is $10
- Michael Pachter – GME point $29
- Joseph Feldman – GME Price point $33
- Matt Krantz – Gamestop Short Squeeze “Rebellion” is Game Over

Edit: THANK YOU to all the Apes reaching out with additional examples. This is not done yet. Keep the receipts and I will continue to update this list.
Overwhelming list huh? Be sure to check out the Apes Guide to Counter-FUD
Don’t ever forget how hard they tried to get you to move on.
Think of how much they have spent trying to get you to sell. How much do the paid shills alone cost in total? How much is that worth to you?
If you’ll indulge me for a sec I just watched The Big Short for the 3rd time and I’m ready to move on so I think I’ll run Herb Brooks’ speech on repeat for the next 420 hours
“Great moments are born from great opportunity.”
They have the deep pockets.
They have the technology.
They have the experts.
They have the experience.
They have the resources.
And they’re still fucked.
